2Proprietary Technology
Proprietary technology allows company to use lower cost waste vegetable oils to produce an array of products.
• Proprietary biodiesel production process using special catalyst which allows from waste feedstock such as cotton-seed waste and waste grease
• Proprietary and patented multi-purpose polyamide hot-melt adhesive for use in: • Inks• Adhering Polyolefin • Engineering Plastics • Films• Pyrocondensation Goods, and Others
•Build strong brand recognition for its environment-friendly specialty chemical
•Expand product offering to include high-end specialty-chemical products such as hot melt adhesives targeting import substitution
•Leverage Company’s new 100,000 plant to meet demand from high volume customers

Specialty Chemical Biodiesel
Growth Strategy 2
• Capitalize on strong demand for transportation fuel in China
• Take advantage of favorable policies supporting adoption of biodiesel
• Leverage Company’s new 100,000 plant to meet demand from high volume customers
2121
Expansion Plans
Strategically select plant locations
• Second refinery is located at Jiangyin port is scheduled to be completed in second quarter of 2009– Port location will allow quick and cost-effective access to imported
feedstock
– Easy access to potential customers such as ships which consume large amount of diesel
– Potential to tap the export market
• Future Hebei and Xinjiang refinery locations are planned to take advantage of strong cotton cultivation industries– Easy access to raw material such as cotton-seed waste
– Duplicate existing plant conditions – sell to diesel retailers in close proximity
– Avoid transportation costs by building plants close to feedstock
– The biodiesel segment has virtually no accounts receivables
